Carol Oliva Photography

I’m a published fine-art wedding photographer specializing in editorial, destination weddings across Hawaiʻi and California. My work blends cinematic landscapes, film-inspired tones, and genuine, unscripted moments to create timeless imagery that feels both refined and deeply personal. With a calm, unobtrusive approach, I allow couples to fully experience their day while I document both the grand celebrations and the quiet, meaningful details in between. From sun-washed coastal ceremonies to elegant estate weddings, my focus is always on creating photographs that feel as powerful decades from now as they do today.

My background in surf, lifestyle, and editorial photography shapes a wedding experience that feels natural, elevated, and never staged. I work with a magazine-worthy eye and a documentary heart, guiding couples gently while leaving space for real emotion to unfold. Couples and planners choose my work for its refined, fine-art aesthetic, thoughtful client experience, and commitment to storytelling that goes beyond trends — creating a visual legacy that reflects not just how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.
